(WSCR) Bears general manager Phil Emery has another name on his list of head coaching candidates.

According to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the Bears have requested an interview with Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. Though, the request is only a formality as NFL rules prohibit the Colts from denying the request.

Though his title is offensive coordinator, Arians stepped in as the Colts interim head coach in the absence of Chuck Pagano this season. Under Arians, the Colts, led by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck, put together a 9-3 record en route to a playoff berth.
